Experience In 1980 I started in a trim shop.A few years later I opened apart-time shop.I have worked with 1919 through present models in oem to custom recovering.
Question The head lining of my car is hanging down and I need to find away thay I can fix it myself, is this possible for someone who is not experienced with cars. I do have some sewing experience.
Answer About $35 parts and 4-6 hours labor. Remove trim. Remove headliner. Pull off old cloth and remove all old foam with a wire brush. Apply a thin coat of contact cement or good quality trim adhesive to the center of the clean board and the fabric. Allow glue to get tacky. With a flat palm stick together pieces with long, smooth, even strokes. Work toward corners and outside, gently stretching the cloth, especially in the bends. Glue and tuck about 2" on backside. Trim holes and reinstall. Good luck. Mark.
